Hyde Schools / Re: Former Hyde students now deceased - totals over 150
« on: May 29, 2021, 08:46:15 PM »
Regarding above post about the death of 14 year old James Roman that happened at Hyde School on the basketball court:
One of them (James Roman) died at Hyde in the 1980's during a basketball game of a brain aneurysm allegedly caused by a heart condition that he didn't know he had (however, Hyde often dismisses student complaints about physical ailments, and there is tremendous pressure to not complain about them at all - "Suck it up!" is a favorite saying by coaches, proctors, other faculty, and even fellow brainwashed students - a willingness to continue workouts through severe pain, tears, and vomiting is required to be considered 'on-track', so whether James had actually experienced warning symptoms from his condition prior to the incident that caused his death is unknown).
It's confirmed on another thread that James had an enlarged heart.
Well, to be fair, James (after the autopsy) was revealed to have an enlarged heart. According to the medical folks, that pumped too much blood to his brain, which caused the condition. (From here: https://www.fornits.com/phpbb/index.php?topic=22965.15)
From Web MD:
Symptoms of cardiomegaly:
Sometimes, an enlarged heart causes no symptoms. If it becomes unable to pump blood well enough, you may get symptoms of congestive heart failure, such as:
Shortness of breath (especially when active or when lying flat)
Leg swelling
Weight gain, particularly in your midsection
Tired feeling
Palpitations or skipped heartbeats
Some folks may never have symptoms. Others may have little things that don’t change for years. Still others may have shortness of breath that steadily gets a little worse.
Warning signs of a brain aneuryism:
A brain aneurysm that has not ruptured often does not cause any symptoms and may not pose an immediate health risk, especially if the aneurysm is small.
Over time, an aneurysm may grow larger and press up against delicate nerves and tissue in the brain. If this occurs, you may gradually experience one or more of the following symptoms:
-headache
-pain above or behind one eye
-blurred or double vision
-difficulty speaking or swallowing
-numbness or weakness on one side of the body, including the face, an arm or leg
-seizures
Warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest:
Recognizing the warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest is also important. If your child experiences any of the following, he or she should see a pediatric cardiologist for an extensive cardiac evaluation:
-Chest pain or discomfort during physical activity
-Fainting or near fainting without warning or during physical activity
-Seizure without warning or during physical activity
-Excessive fatigue associated with exercise
-They also have Unusually fast heart rate or rhythm with an unknown cause
It's also stated that sometimes a person with an enlarged heart has no symptoms, but sometimes they do. If James did have symptoms and complained, they likely would have been mostly ignored by faculty (as per their standard protocol that I and nearly everyone I know who has gone to Hyde over the span of multiple decades experienced while there), and/or he would have likely felt extreme pressure to not complain about them. Complaining about physical pain, discomfort, and other problematic physical symptoms is treated as a weakness of character. Kids who complain of pain and other physical issues are told that they are lying/exaggerating/making excuses, not putting in effort, "that's bullshit", "suck it up", etc. over and over while being forced to play on extremely demanding sports teams, subjected to brutal punishment workouts, etc. I believe that the only qualified medical personnel ever employed by Hyde School was a registered nurse, or a lower level nurse. A nurse was not available at all times, and they aren't trained to diagnose and treat medical conditions. Children were given no other access to medical resources, short of calling 911 on one of the sparsely placed payphones, or maybe if parents requested, or if a teacher or the med nurse decided to take complaints very very seriously..
The only way to know if James ever complained of symptoms would be to ask his friends/roommates/people who were with him at the time about it (if they would even remember those details). Otherwise we can only wonder. All of this is speculation based on what I know of the place.
